An impossible task some say. Therefore the European Broadcasting Union is proud to have brought together 18 Members in 14 countries for the Generation What project which launched in April 2016 and gave a voice to this generation, a generation with a optimistic perspective of the future, as it turns out. Since then nearly a million young people have been given the opportunity by public service media (PSM) to speak up and to be heard. This “millennial” generation will, in the near future, be responsible for our continent so it is valuable to hear their voice and learn from what the survey has revealed. Public service media is not just listening though but providing a platform to build bridges, not just between generations but between citizens and the institutions that influence their lives. Generation What shall be the start of an increased dialogue between young people in the various countries, institutions, governments and the EU.

Briefly describe the rationale for assignment to foundation area(s) and subgroup(s) chosen. This course falls into social analysis and visual and performance arts analysis and practice because it shows how punk, as a subculture, has influenced alternative economic practices, led to political mobilization, and challenged social norms. This course situates the activity of listening to punk music in its broader cultural ideologies, such as the DIY (do-it-yourself) ideal, which includes nontraditional musical pedagogy and composition, cooperatively owned performance venues, and underground distribution and circulation practices. Students learn to analyze punk subculture as an alternative social formation and how punk productions confront and are times co-opted by capitalistic logic and normative economic, political and social arrangements. 3.

  • New Broom in Burkina Faso?
    alexandra reza NEW BROOM IN BURKINA FASO? n late october 2014, hundreds of thousands of people poured onto the streets of Burkina Faso, incensed by Blaise Compaoré’s bid to change the constitution and seek a fifth presidential term.1 Many of their placards displayed photographs of Thomas Sankara, ICompaoré’s revolutionary predecessor. Others simply read: ‘Blaise, Get Out.’ Pressure had been building all year among citizens of the impov- erished West African state, and by October the mood had hardened. Compaoré clung on, sometimes defiant, sometimes pleading: suggesting reforms, appealing for stability, issuing reminders about the importance of the rule of law. The protests continued nonetheless. Police lined the streets. Many demonstrators were injured; at least thirty were killed. A group called Balai Citoyen (‘Citizens’ Broom’) played a key role in the protests. Balai was founded by prominent musicians: Smockey, a rapper, and the reggae artist Sams’K Le Jah, whose music helped to energize the mainly young crowd—60 per cent of Burkinabès are under 24. As well as Balai Citoyen, other social movements mobilized, among them the Mouvement Ça Suffit (‘That’s Enough’), along with trade unionists and established opposition politicians such as Zéphirin Diabré and Saran Sérémé, who had formerly been members of Compaoré’s ruling party. Sérémé and her colleague Juliette Kongo organized a major women’s protest in the capital Ouagadougou on 27 October. Thousands marched, holding wooden cooking spatulas and megaphones in the air. Eventually, on the 30th, a huge crowd—the opposition claimed it was a million strong—marched on the parliament building and breached its security cordon.

  • YOUTH and NEWS in a DIGITAL MEDIA ENVIRONMENT • Nordic-Baltic Perspectives • Yvonne Andersson, Ulf Dalquist & Jonas Ohlsson (Eds.)
    YOUTH AND NEWS IN A DIGITAL MEDIA ENVIRONMENT • IN A DIGITAL AND NEWS YOUTH Ongoing digitalization has fundamentally transformed the entire media landscape, not least the domain of news. The blurring of previously sharp distinctions between production, distribution and consumption have challenged the established news industry and brought into question long-held assumptions of what journalism is or should be, who is a journalist and how we define, consume and use “news”. This ant- hology aims to shed light on the implications of these transformations for young pe- ople in the Nordic and Baltic countries. It focuses on three themes: youth participating in news and information production; news production by established media organiza- tions and novel information providers aimed at children and youth; news use among youth. Taken together, the chapters illustrate the complexity of news use among youth and offer some rather different examples of strategies that news organizations might consider for reaching young people with news – or involving them in the production of news. Furthermore, the book might serve as a basis for reflecting on the urgent, but Perspectives Nordic-Baltic cumbersome, area of media and information literacy in these media saturated times. Youth and News in a Digital Media Environment consists of contributions from Norway, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Estonia, written by scholars and people working in the media industry.

    DIRECTOR-GENERAL’S ACTIVITIES IN JANUARY 2008 Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, 9 to 12 January 2008: The Director-General arrived in Ouagadougou on 9 January 2008 at 15:55 hours. He had bilateral meeting with high-level officials of Burkina Faso, including His Excellency Blaise Compaoré, President of Burkina Faso and President of the Council of Ministers; His Excellency Tertius Zongo, Prime Minister and Head of the Government of Burkina Faso; Her Excellency Minata Samate, Minister delegated to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Cooperation in charge of Regional Cooperation; and with His Excellency Salif Diallo, Minister of State, Minister for Agriculture, Water and Fishing Resources. On 10 January 2008, the Director-General participated in an interministerial meeting which was chaired by His Excellency Salif Diallo, Minister of State, Minister for Agriculture, Water and Fishing Resources, and included the participation of eleven Ministers and Delegated Ministers and their assistants. He also made a courtesy visit to His Excellency Soumaïla Cissé, President of the Commission of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA). Discussions touched on issues related to the National Programme for Food Security (NPFS) and a possible visit of His Excellency Salif Diallo to FAO headquarters to attend a meeting with representatives of the funding partners prior to the holding of a round table. The Director-General noted, in particular, the multisectoral nature of food security which would require the participation of the ministerial departments involved in solving the challenges to agricultural development and food security. He reaffirmed FAO’s willingness to assist the Government in finalizing the NPFS document, mobilizing donors and organizing a round table for donors.

  • German-Ghanaian Relations Through Music - Building Bridges for Mutual Understanding
    Deutsche Botschaft Accra German Embassy Accra German-Ghanaian Relations through Music - Building Bridges for Mutual Understanding The author and his formation Adikanfo performing at a cultural festival in Schwabach, Germany. (Photo: Moving Cultures) Text: Mark K. Asamoah I thank God the Almighty for giving me the strength and courage to live what I did not dream of: being a musician, teacher, entertainer, and lecturer. For in my early days in Ghana, percussionists and other musicians were the last to be regarded. “Oh, he is just a drummer!” – I heard this and similar comments in those days more than just once. Fifty years of Independence allow us to proclaim, “We, the people of Ghana, no longer have to walk in darkness!” There is no cause to hide our faces in shame. When our eyes meet, they can gaze at one another with understanding and honesty. Those who fought for our Independence have kindled a torch within us and motivated us to walk on our paths with courage and deep desire for freedom. The light within us shows where we can place our feet in safety and in certainty; we are on sure ground. As Ghana is now on its feet, the time has come for all of us – at home and abroad – to contribute spiritually and financially to maintain the stability for our children. While we are proudly celebrating 50 years of German-Ghanaian cultural relations in 2007, we should therefore not forget that there is still more work to be done for us and for coming generations. My journey from Asuom to Berlin I was born at Asuom in the Eastern Region of Ghana; I grew up in a Christian family and started music in the church of my grandmother.
